7th period
Group 5 - Metaphor
A metaphor is comparing two things without using like or as.
A metaphor is saying that one thing is something else
Here are some examples
Joy
Just when you thought

that winter
would be here forever,
that it could never end,
you saw:

Amidst the frozen white,
a tiny tip of green,
first blade of grass,
the messenger of spring.




Play
Random raindrops
on the window pane.

Touch them with your finger tip -
but there's the barrier of glass.

You know that if you wanted
to become involved
you should be on
the other side.




Treasures

Shyly, the child
raised the lid
of the battered box
to reveal
a small feather,
a stone and a piece
of ruby glass.
----

Creativity

On the wall,
there is a shadow
of a branch outside.

It moves and it is dancing.

It writes its story
and the ink
is living light.




Peace

The wind is now
a roaring, smashing
monster of destruction,
raking all man's work
from the valleys,
from the vales,
and sends them spinning,
broken flying -

but all of that is
not its core,
its center is in truth
eternal stillness
bright blue skies
and all you hear
are gentle whispers
far away
and unimportant.
